guilty of trespass only. The boys are
not naturally vicious or depraved and

Fortunately for the country, the
president is very much stronger than
his party, and he personally commands
a confidence which his party does not.
1t will be compelled to renOminate him,
or to abandon the hope of success. Yet
the hostility to him in his own party
in New York is such that even were he
renOminated his democratic opponents
would see him defeated with the same
equanimity that the Blaine republi-
cans witnessed the defeat of Mr.. Dav-
export, and, as in that case also, they
would be quite capable of making sure
of it.

DOctOriDg Horses.

In winter, colds are quite common
among horses throughout the Eastern
aud Middle States. If difficulty OF
breathing is noted, with running at the
nose, see, first of ali, that there are no
draughts Of cold air striking him; put
oman extra blanket give warm bran
mash, and ten drops of ttncture aconite,
once in two hours. If the cold take
the from of cough, there is nothing
better than a tablespoonful of ground
lobelia and ginger, mixed In equal
parts, put in the bran mash, and 1t will
be taken without trouble. Where the
horse becomes suddenly lame, the first
steps Is TO ascertain whether or not 1t
is the fault Of the shooting, as it very
often Is. In such case, pull off the
shoe, give the foot rest of day, and
then put 1t on rightly. II 1t be due to
a sprain, battle in hot water, and rub
dry. The various liniments are not
efficacious as rule, and generally re-
suit In taking off the hair. It is better
to call weli.known veterinary physi-
clan, than to risk the loss ola valuable
animal. The horse may die, OF course,
in spite of all that Is done, but it will
he a satisfaction In case of his death to
feel that all has been done that was
possible. Ag1icults0'xlist to'

Only under exceptional circumstances
very rare-found ncaI large cltit6
where manure naturally and CONNER
cialiy, is plenty and cheap, can land be
cropped year after year, and the pro-
duce carried away without constantly
the soil. Hence, the man
who constantly depletes his soil, with
out in some way renewing the fertility,
eventually must become land-poor, aud
this whether the acres be few or many.
The remedy for becoming land-poor
ia to raise more grass, seed down mead
ows, and feed 1t to stock. Buy the best
possible Implements for securing the
hay, that your horses, cattle and sheep
may receive full nourishment from
autumn until spring. This gives you
plenty of rich manure to top dress your
meadows with, or to apply to your
other forage crops. With proper hay
saving implements, all kinds OF fodder,
including corn stalks, can be cheaply
taken care of without hand Juggling.
The man who has broad meadows,
with full complement of stock 10 eat
the products, is never land-poor. He
sells only the manufactured products
of the soil in fat steers, butter, cheese,
milk and fine horses. He is not hur.
ried to death with tho hard old FASH
Toned labors of the farm. He can sit
on the mower and cut his grass; rides
ON his rake to gather it; loads 1t on his
wagon by machinery, and horse can
stack or move 1t away. The horses do
not object; they live ON the fat Of
the fields, as tho master also enjoys

Itelligent men know tho field of inven-
ton Is ever open to Improvement. The
man who waits for absolute perfection
in machinery, loses the opportunity of
competing with his fellows. who accept
improvements as they are made and
work with them. The man nowadays,
who waits until ultimate perfection is
reached, struggles through life and
dies lalnenting that he had not used
the means of improvement yearly
given him.-Fu1Da Field and iNockn1an.

How to Have IL Healthy Stable.

The requisites OF stable arc mani
fold. Health and com fort must be Sc
cured, If rest is to be had for its in
mates, and no domestic animal can
thrive without restful feeling. The
city stable too frequently is torture
chamber, full of pestilential, narrow
cells; the average country stable is a
barn, where the farm animals contend
for shelter with farm implements, and
where poultry not unfrequently resort.
These extremes of misery are modified
and comfortable stabling can be found :;
also are there some veritable places for
favorite studs. With such we temper
not. a good horse is worthy OF the
best that man can bestow upon him.
When q horse gets back to his sta
BILE, after his days work is over, he
requires, to keep him in health and
full cthciency, home feeling that
comes of absolute rest. To secure this,
he must have "A dry, clean bed, in IL
roomy box, which must be well VEN
tilated, and free from the ap noyance of
insects. The box must be cool in suns
mer, and warm, but not hot, in winter
The farmer of moderate means feels
that TO erect new stabling is out of his
power. What then? Why look about
and see if by storing things more closely
and with more attention to tidiness,
the horses cannot have more space, be
more apart, and thus enjoy better rest.
IL a new stable can be built, much has
to he considered before beginning the
work--cost, though serious question,
is not the most Important. Location
AMI ventilation, with perfect drainage
and no crowding, are the requisites;
design and interior subdivision follow,

Improvement Of the Cotton Plant.

Many of the so-called long stapled
upland varieties owe their distinctive
peculiarities to attempts to improve
the quality of the staple Of upland va
riettes, by hybrldizing with the Sea
Island. The object sought was to
Iengthen the staple by using the Sea
Island on the one hand, and secure
productiveness from the Upland on the
other. These efforts have generally
resulted In an Improvement in the lint,
but such reduction In productiveness,
as to destroy the advantage gained In
the quality of lint. In some Instances
however, decided advantages have
been gained. There are many varie.
tics of the Upland which have very
distinct characteristics, Indicating that
they have been thoroughly established.
Besides those resulting from ghybridiz-
Ing with the Sea Island, others have
been produced by selection, continuing
from year to year to select seeds from
stalks having the form, habits of
growth, and productiveness desired.
On the principle that like begets like,
such careful selection soon establishes
the type desired, and q new variety
results. Plants are just IA surely and
readily improved 10y selection as ami
mails, and the Improvement resulting
from judicious selection, requires the
same watchfulness for its perpetuatlon
and maintenance in plants that is de-
manded for animals. Similar require
ments are necessary in each case. No
intelligent breeder would attempt to
improve his stock by selection, without
abundant feeding and judicious atten-
ton. Neither need We expect any de-
cided Improvement in tho type and
prOductiveness of our plants without
abundant food and through cultivation.
Nearly all of our cultivated plants
have been developed into their present
advanced state OF productiveness,
through tho influence of domesticati ion
aud accompanying cultivation

How to Save Garden Seeds.

Peas and beans should be left on the
vines until the pods are well wrinkled,
when they should be picked aud spread
until they are quito dry. Small guam
titles may be sheIlcd by hand, large
crops are threshed with fail. Keep
the,n IN dry place.
Melon, cucumber, squash and pump
kin seeds should he taken only from
ripe, perfect-shaped specimens. In n
small way the seeds may be simply
taken out, spread on plates or tins, and
dried. Large quantities have to be
washed before drying, to remove the
slime that adheres to them. When
the seeds are thoroughly dried, tie
them In bags, and keep in a dry place
secure from mice and rats.
Beets, parsnips, turnips, carrots, on-
ions, csuiitlower and cabbage will not
produce seed until the second year.
Set out in early May, strong, we'll
matured plants Of last seasons crop.
When the seed is ripe, cut the stalks
and put under cover to dry then beat
out the seeds, aud tic in paper bags.
Seeds of ali kinds should be fully
ripe when gathered, but it Is also im-
portant to harvest them as soon as they
are ripe. For keeping small Quantities
of seeds, paper bags are preferable to
cloth, as they afford better protection
against moisture and insects. Always
mark each package with the name of
the seed contained in 1t, and the year
In which II grew. Cold does not In
jure the vitality of seeds, but moisture
